[webkit-dev] Importing W3C tests for HTML template elements

[Dirk Pranke]

Ryosuke and I discussed this a bit over IRC. Ryosuke's main concern was
that supporting multiple document roots adds a fair amount of complexity to
NRWT. Conceptually, it's probably easier to add support to run the W3C's
new server (known as wptserve) and then maybe use it for *all* imported
tests from the W3C.

If it turns out that wptserve is too slow, and you would prefer to run only
some of the directories over http (i.e., the 10k+ CSS tests don't need
http), you'll probably need to modify how wptserve is run (and NRWT) as
well, anyway, so the patch would be different.

Ryosuke, please let me know if I've misstated your thinking at all.
